How to enable auto high beam on Hyundai Tucson

When you are driving through the countryside in the middle of the night, it can become a chore switching your high beams off and on for oncoming traffic. Hyundai’s available High Beam Assist can take on the task.

It automatically dims your high beams when it senses oncoming vehicles, and reactivating them once they pass by.


To enable the feature, you must be traveling faster than 25 miles per hour. Rotate the headlamp switch on the steering column’s left stalk to auto. Then push the stalk away from you. The auto high beam indicator on the instrument cluster will illuminate letting you know that high beam assist is active.

Now you can focus all of your attention on driving safely through the night, and you can still flash your high beams if they have been dimmed. Just pull back on the stalk as you usually would to flash, then release the stalk to return to auto mode.

To switch high beam assist off, rotate the headlamp switch away from auto. It’s that simple.
